What are you reading?

The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafron and really enjoying it.

 

“ How Not to Be Wrong; The Power of Mathematical Thinking” by Jordon Ellenberg

 

I started a new audiobook the other day for my work commute. Martin Luther by Eric Metaxas. Interesting, entertaining, and well-written. Not a boring or staid biography. Enjoying it!

 

Drood: well written historical psychological horror fiction. Long but worth the effort.

We Need to Talk:. Surprisingly insightful and succinct.

“Feeling Good” by Ken Burns.

 

Freaking amazing! I am a fan of this series, but to merge it with Lovecraft's world, makes it an awesome read!

Just finished "And Then There Were None" by Agatha Christie.

 

I recently re-read a number of the Nightside books by Simon Green.

 

Ike's Bluff by Evan Thomas.

 

I find myself reading the KJV Bible more and more. This world seems to get crazier by the day, so I figure it doesn't hurt to brush up on a little truth here and there.

 

No matter what your faith, the various religious books/translations are useful for thinking.

 

I just finished reading American Sniper, for the second time. I first read it when it had just come out, before Chris Kyle's death. Very good book.

 

Currently taking a break from my usual course of reading.
Right now it is "Lonely on the Mountain"
By Louis L'Amour

 

Finished up Ike's Bluff and picked up Lincoln's Men by William C. Davis. Pretty interesting so far.



I spend a few minutes in the quiet early mornings reading inspiration or devotional material. I've been reading Help, Thanks, Wow by Anne Lamott. I also read entries from Reflections for Ragamuffins by Brennan Manning each morning.

 

Stanislaw Lem - Eden

 

Ernest Hemingway / The Snows of Kilimanjaro

 

Just finished George Orwell's 1984. Last time I read it was for 8th grade social studies class.

 

Curious what your impressions were now.

 

At the time I didn't give it much thought. My teacher was a serious anti communist and wanted to make an impression. I wanted to make my grade and meet girls. What I see now is the fact that we are or have pretty much given our privacy away. No Alexis for me. I don't want a outside agency listening in on my life.

 

The Happy Return, a H. Hornblower novel by C.S. Forester. I may be enjoying it just as much as the Patrick O'Brian novels...
